Generation Detection and Characterization of Gas-Phase Transition Metal Containing Molecules

摘要

New catalysts are increasingly necessary for greater utilization of a dwindling chemical feedstock and to reduce the anthropomorphic degradation of the environment. Efficacious synthesis of new catalysts will only be accomplished when there is a clear understanding of the associated microscopic molecular steps. The goal of this project was to generate, identify and characterize of transition metal containing molecules that can provide insight into these microscopic molecular steps.
